Chapter 41

After the farce ended, Ji Jingye was apologetically invited upstairs by the host of the banquet who had finally watched the excitement, and specially introduced him to the auction items.

However, he was obviously not interested in the lots donated by these guests.

Therefore, the expression on his face has always been light and emotionless.

The host of the banquet naturally noticed it and couldn't help but pause slightly.

While he was thinking about what to do in annoyance, something suddenly occurred to him and he couldn't help but slap his head: "Look, I forgot the most important thing. Mr. Ji, come and take a look, what do you think of the lot I donated this time?"

He asked tentatively. , seeing Ji Jingye's noncommittal look, he simply skipped the other lots and led people to the finale of the auction with a smile.

"Look, this is a collection that I specially bought at the Leon 30th Anniversary Auction in Country F."

The host of the banquet introduced with a little pride: "I thought, after all, I organized this time At the charity dinner, you can't lose the donated items to others, right? So after thinking about it, I finally reluctantly decided to take out this piece. "

This is an emerald necklace.

Yu Keke's brisk voice happened to sound in his mind, praising him for his good taste.

Ji Jingye's eyes fell on it unconsciously.

It could be used as the grand finale, and the host of the banquet took it out with such confidence.

The emerald on the necklace is naturally unusual.

I saw it was like the still water of a lake, with a rich and warm color, and an ancient and mysterious beauty.

As if it was simply placed in a glass cover, the strong and gorgeous light that circulated eclipsed all the surrounding gemstones and jewelry.

Another kind of beauty overwhelmed the whole audience.

It turns out to be inexplicably similar to Yu Keke.

When this idea came to mind, Ji Jingye suddenly remembered how Yu Keke looked when he was filming the D family's endorsement of gg.

He stood not far away, watching her turn around in confusion due to the system's reminder.

At that time, I was only thinking about repairing brain wave signals, and didn't think there was anything special about it.

However, when I recall it now, I unexpectedly find that that scene is still very clear as if it was deeply imprinted in my mind.

Especially the dot of demantoid garnet dotted between her eyebrows, as it swayed gently, it seemed as if the bright golden-green light was quietly blending into the smile in her eyes.

It suits her very well.

Perhaps he noticed that he was looking at the necklace, and it seemed that he had finally become interested. The host of the banquet couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

So he was even more enthusiastic when introducing it: "This is the Muzo emerald produced in Colombia, and it was also the finale of the auction at that time. I spent a lot of effort to get it in the first place. What do you think, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Jingye took back his thoughts and said calmly. He responded.

Although it was just a simple "hmm", it was the first time he spoke after being invited to visit.

The host of the banquet immediately understood that Mr. Ji had chosen this lot.

If the final lot can be taken by Mr. Ji, it will be equivalent to establishing this relationship.

The smile on the face of the host of the banquet suddenly became deeper, and he quickly introduced it to him more carefully. He even wanted to explain in detail how he took the necklace in the first place.

With the host of the banquet's eloquent introduction ringing in his ears, Ji Jingye's eyes fell down unconsciously.

Yu Keke was sitting in a relatively low-key corner. Not many people passed by, but he could always notice the movements in the banquet hall.

And where he was now, he happened to be diagonally above her.

With this subtle distance, it seemed that just by lowering his head slightly, he could catch her movements.

The voices of rich and wealthy ladies could be heard faintly below, praising the dress for its beauty.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the hem of her skirt.

Even if she is surrounded by a group of people, Yu Keke is still very obvious, and her figure can be accurately captured at a glance.

Ji Jingye couldn't help but think of the emerald necklace again.

His fingers moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously.

There really are some inexplicable similarities.

Even if he couldn't see Yu Keke's expression, he could still imagine it.

She must have a brisk smile on the surface and look serious. No one can guess that she is actually chatting excitedly with the system in her heart about all kinds of gossip.

To this day, the chatter of her and the system is still ringing in my mind.

Perhaps because he felt it was too lively, Ji Jingye's eyes shifted slightly and fell on the girl in black dress they were discussing.

Although he didn't know her, he was somewhat familiar with Mr. Yan of Zhengxin Construction, and he was considered to be quite skillful.

In my impression, the eldest son of the Yan family has inherited Mr. Yan's abilities and is outstanding among his peers.

It's a pity that a confused old man was involved.

This thought flashed through Ji Jingye's mind, and Ji Jingye couldn't help but think of Ji Yuanjiang, who had married three wives, and Ji Linghan, who he insisted on taking back.

His expression suddenly became cold and his eyes were ferocious.

As expected, they are all the same dragging, useless waste.

She didn't know that Ji Jingye was right above her head, watching her gossip.

Yu Keke had now lost interest in the Yan family's melons and was eating melon seeds, listening with great interest to the gossips of the rich and wealthy families.

Then I heard the system sharing.

[Actually, when it comes to having an affair, you have to look at another family. ] The system said with great interest, [On your right, do you see the family walking over? 】

Um?

Yu Keke subconsciously turned his head and saw a family of four.

They should also be looking for a place to rest, and they were walking toward them while having an intimate conversation.

The young man and woman walking in the middle should be a couple, acting affectionately and not caring about the gazes around them.

Perhaps realizing that Yu Keke and the others were here, the young woman paused in her steps, gently tugged on the sleeve of the man next to her, and whispered something.

Then they nodded apologetically to Yu Keke and the others, and walked to the dessert area aside.

The young man brought a small cake for the woman and tried to feed her carelessly. Then his mother tapped his forehead to tell him to restrain himself.

You can still vaguely hear the laughter coming from them. They seem to be a very close family indeed.

Seeing Yu Keke's round back, he was swinging back and forth as the family moved around, really like a horse jumping in the melon field.

Ji Jingye snorted mockingly, looked over, and recognized that he was from the Li family.

He remembered that the current person in charge of the Li family had a good relationship with Ji Laoer and was his ally.

And he had secretly helped Ji Laoer many times in an attempt to deal with himself.

Unfortunately they all failed.

Ji Jingye put her slender fingers on the railing and tapped lightly.

The thin lips twitched in obvious sarcasm.

Then, as expected, the system introduced to Yu Keke: [Pay attention, this is the Li family. The young man is Master Li, and the woman next to him is his fiancée. Of course, she is also the daughter that Mrs. Li left behind when she abandoned her husband and daughter. 】

Yu Keke: "...?"

Her body sat up straight again unconsciously: "Wait a minute, this relationship is a bit confusing, let me sort it out." So, Master Li and his fiancée are actually siblings? ? 】

System: 【That's not the case. ]

Yu Keke let out a long oh, seeming to have guessed the plot of this family: [That is, Mrs. Li married into the Li family later. She is only Master Li's stepmother, so these two people are not related by blood? ]

Before the system could answer, Ji Jingye paused slightly.

Because the Li family once helped Ji Laoer deal with him, he still knew something about this family.

He remembered that the Li family's son should be Mrs. Li's biological son.

Sure enough, the system immediately rejected it: [No. 】

Yu Keke:?

【Not really? ] She was confused and even more curious at the same time, [If not, then it would only be her biological child. But this is wrong. If the fiancée is Mrs. Li's daughter, then how can they not be related by blood? ]

System: [Because Master Li is actually Mr. Li's illegitimate son. It's just that when he was born, he was replaced by Mr. Li's civet cat for the prince, and he was secretly exchanged. 】

Yu Keke:? Is this okay? ?

She couldn't help but look back: [Why, he can't afford to offend the family power behind Mrs. Li, so he can only do this? 】

If nothing else, this operation is awesome.

[That's not true. Mrs. Li's family background is not very good, and it is completely incomparable with the Li family. ] The system explained, [So when they got married, there was quite a big fuss. Everyone in the circle knew that Mr. Li fell in love with Mrs. Li at first sight and persisted in resisting the pressure from the family and married Mrs. Li back. 】

System: 【It is said that Mrs. Li is a model for Cinderella to marry into a wealthy family, and the husband and wife are harmonious and have a good relationship to this day. ]

Thinking that Mr. Li deliberately changed the illegitimate child to Mrs. Li's name, Yu Keke couldn't help but guessed: [But the truth is not like this? ]

The system gave an affirmative answer: [In order to marry into a wealthy family, Mrs. Li not only abandoned her husband and daughter and ran away secretly, but also deliberately changed her name for fear of being found by them. ]

[But she didn't expect that even before he met her, Mr. Li had accidentally developed a crush on his distant sister-in-law who lived in the Li family's house day and night. 】It described vividly, "Although the fifth server has been released, but the relationship is here, it is naturally opposed by the whole family. Mr. Li then married Mrs. Li, but did not break off the relationship with his sister-in-law. ]

System: [But because the Li family has always regarded this matter as a scandal, they naturally kept it a secret, so Mrs. Li still doesn't know about it. ]

Yu Keke almost doubted his ears: [...wait, distant sister-in-law? 】

Good guy, is the relationship between this family so complicated?

This couple has their own secrets. One abandoned her husband and daughter to marry a wealthy family, while the other seemed to fall in love at first sight but was actually hiding a scandal.

And just after it was clarified that Master Li and his fiancée are not related by blood, another tragic love story from the previous generation appeared?

——The person whose feelings are really involved in adultery is actually Mr. Li!

She couldn't help but take a breath, and her heart was filled with tears for countless times.

[Later, my distant sister-in-law and Mrs. Li gave birth to a child almost at the same time, but my sister-in-law died of massive hemorrhage. So Mr. Li personally exchanged the two children while Mrs. Li was weak. ] The system continued to tell her the follow-up in an emotional voice, [So the current Young Master Li is actually the son of Mr. Li and his distant sister-in-law. ]

Yu Keke couldn't help but pick her ears: [Sure enough, the world is so big and full of wonders, this time it really opened my eyes... What about Mrs. Li's real biological child? 】

System: 【 Died shortly after birth. ]

[That child is really miserable. ] She couldn't help but sigh, [No wonder you said they are not related by blood, it turns out that's the case. ]

Yu Keke suddenly thought of something: [Then since the fiancée is Mrs. Li's daughter, didn't she recognize her? ]

System: [When Mrs. Li ran away with Mr. Li, her daughter was only about two years old, so naturally she couldn't recognize her. However, because Mrs. Li's ex-husband had a photo of her and her daughter kept taking it with her, she finally found out that Mrs. Li was the mother who abandoned her. ]

Yu Keke guessed: [Then the daughter is deliberately seeking revenge, and then she decides to get close to Master Li? ]

[She didn't know it at first, but she was really in love with Master Li. But when I saw Mrs. Li later, I suddenly recognized her. ] The system said, [However, Mrs. Li strongly prevented her from getting married because her family was poor, and even made fun of her and made things difficult for her. ]

System: [In the end, Mr. Li thought of his own experience of being blocked, and because he loved his son, he agreed directly. Mrs. Li has no say in the Li family, so she naturally does not dare to resist what Mr. Li has decided. 】

After being exposed by the system, Yu Keke couldn't help but look at the family carefully again.

Sure enough, some subtle details were discovered this time.

Although the family seemed to be having an intimate conversation, Mrs. Li deliberately turned sideways when facing Mrs. Li, quietly showing some resistance and contempt.

If you look closely, you can see that the kind expression on her face is slightly forced.

Master Li's fiancée was smiling and seemed not to notice anything.

Only when others can't see her can you notice that her eyes are actually cold and sharp, and her whole body exudes an imperceptible hostility.

Observed from Yu Keke's perspective, the mother and daughter, who were strangers to each other, had an invisible sense of tit-for-tat, revealing an inexplicable rivalry.

However, it can also be seen from the profile that their bones are very similar.

It's just that no one has thought about it.

The two men of the Li family are even more interesting.

Master Li didn't notice anything and was still holding his wife and talking to his mother. He had a smile on his face and looked very carefree.

"Oh, just one feed, it won't have any impact." He smiled nonchalantly, "I know Mom, you prefer your daughter-in-law and are worried about affecting her reputation. But now that we are engaged, no one knows our relationship, even if they see us Intimacy doesn't matter, right?"

"That's not okay, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mrs. Li gave him a mocking look, but her eyes were full of love. It was obvious that she only cared about her son.

He saw that although his fiancée was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

Yu Keke couldn't help but sigh: [Wow, this scene is really ironic. Mrs.

Li didn't know that her biological daughter had found her and was watching her with cold eyes as she loved her son wholeheartedly.

However, what is even more ironic is that Master Li is not her biological child, but an illegitimate child secretly exchanged by Mr. Li.

Yu Keke looked at Mr. Li again.

I found that compared to the closeness of the unmarried couple, the distance between him and Mrs. Li was almost as big as one person.

But because both husband and wife were looking at the unmarried couple with loving smiles on their faces, it was not obvious.

Unlike the legendary image of a beloved wife, Mr. Li did not pay too much attention to Mrs. Li beside him, and just listened intently to what his son was saying.

While watching the intimate exchange between Master Li and Mrs. Li, the smile on his lips was obviously gratified. It seemed that he was recalling something from them to satisfy his regrets.

Except for the heartless Master Li, the other three are truly the best actors per capita, with an undercurrent surging.

Yu Keke really admires this.

[If I had such acting skills, I probably wouldn't need to be dragged into acting every day when I was on the set, and even be taught a lesson by Director Zhou. ] She couldn't help but marvel, [Sure enough, the masters are among the people. 】

The system also felt sad: 【Yes, if your acting skills are so good, I don't have to worry about you spreading your wings in front of the villain every day. ]

Yu Keke: [? I'm obviously serious about saving the world, but look at what I'm wearing, it's just a gift from Ji Jingye. 】

Compared to one person and one system eating the melon, the topic was changed noisily.

Upstairs, Ji Jingye, who heard this secret, stared in the direction of the Li family with dark eyes.

Don't know what to think.

After a long while, he calmly nodded at the railing and relaxed his brows.

Unexpectedly, the waste system that only eats melons can actually have some effect.

Not knowing that his system was being praised, he was still sharing it with the host: [Actually, there are a lot of things here. After all, every family inevitably has its own story. But those are not so exciting. ]

Yu Keke calmly touched his belly and said sincerely: [I think these are enough. The melons came one after another, and they were all so exciting that I almost vomited. 】

I remember that she had laughed at the melon-eating netizens for their incompetence in fighting, but she never expected that she would be able to eat melon until she was full in her lifetime.

It's really terrible.

Sure enough, a place like the banquet is a gathering place for melon fields.

That's why you should participate often!

Thanks again to Ms. Wang for her invitation and contribution, which opened the door to a new world for her.

Just when he was pretending to miss Miss Wang, Yu Keke heard the system's suggestion: [Then take it easy for now and wait until next time to tell you? ]

She struggled for a while, but couldn't help but said: [...It seems that we can have some more porridge and side dishes? 】

What a pity it would be to leave these behind in case there are more exciting melons next time.

Then just a little bit more, just a little bit.

Ji Jingye: "..."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the back of Yu Keke's head, almost imagining her struggling and longing expression.

Sure enough, she only has amazing perseverance in eating melons.

I have never seen him so persistent in other aspects.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingye couldn't help but sneer.

At the same time, the host of the banquet, who was finally satisfied with telling his auction experience, suddenly heard his sneer.

He suddenly became excited and carefully raised his eyes to see Mr. Ji's face. I thought I was talking too much, which made Mr. Ji impatient.

But when he saw Ji Jingye's expression, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Is it my own illusion? Why does he feel that Mr. Ji's current mood seems... pretty good?

So the host of the banquet carefully followed his line of sight and looked down.

At a glance, he caught the figure wearing a dark blue dress.

The host of the banquet: "..."

He showed a stunned expression, as if he understood something.

This emerald necklace must be what Mr. Ji wanted to take a photo of and give it to Miss Yu.

Oh, this is
